Speaking as a 22 LR user, you have to clean these guns a lot more! A day at the range means you will be cleaning your gun at least once before you are done, or it will lock up on you. It was suggested that I use the 22 WMR. What do you think? It's a Sig Mosquito.
I did not abandon the 22 but instead I added the 17 hmr. Ammo is easier to get but it does cost a little more. It moves down the field a little quicker but it does have a little less punch at the end.
